Prior to the match against Bangladesh, skipper Mithali
Raj had stressed on the fact that India’s batting line up hadn’t really
been tested. Tuesday’s examination against Bangladesh might not have
been the toughest, but there were indeed a lot of positives.
“This
has given a lot of confidence to those who spent some time in the
middle,” said Mithali after the win. “It is important for us to continue
to do what we did today.
“If you are going to have
batters who are going to go after the bowling in the first six overs,
there is an amount of risk involved,” she said. “We have Vanitha, who
has done well against Australia in Australia and now has given us
results. With this plan, even if you lose a wicket, we know we have a
proper stable batsman [Smriti Mandhana] coming in at No. 3.”
Harmanpreet Kaur too spoke on the same lines highlighting how the team is now unearthing new match-winners.
“Two
years back, we were missing openers,” said Harmanpreet. “Now, we have
Vanitha [V.R] and also Smriti [Mandhana]. We were totally dependent on
Mithali before.”
